24 Hours of Lemans, 2005

[drnickriviera]

Only around hour 30 left/ Pretty impressive that the vettes are 5th and 6th overall.

Looks like the Audi is going to win again.

Geez no one watching?

For the first time since 1967 in the Ford Gt40, an american team has won. Americans kicked butt this year. Vettes 1-2 in GT1, Alex Job 911 in GT2

I watched a little yesterday and a few minutes this morning. Yay, Audi wins again...snore.

I'll be watching the US Grand Prix in a few hours though!

Its like when I was in India during the Cricket World Championship... Cricket was EVERYWHERE as they kicked butt that year, even though they got handed to by the Aussies, landed in LA had a 5 hour layover... all i wanted was a recap of the scores, i ask the bartender of any of his 100 TVs could get Cricket... "you want a what? i only have beer and wine."

Talking to the wrong crowd looking for GT racing fans... toss out Nascar, maybe they'd listen... no one appreciates real racing in America

I have it with DirecTV. Channel 607. I just wish they didn't change to the official Neckcar channel a couple years ago...

America loves Nascar... my opinion of Nascar is that it is sh!t... dunno why that makes a statement dumb... GT is definetly more popular in the UK and Asia.

Edit: Hit post too soon, my assumption is that most readers here are USA based... hence more familiarity with Nascar and being more interested in discussing it... 500 circles = not fun to watch for me. ElFenix, get some grease and dislodge that bead up your bum.

Speedvision, Fox, ABC, TBS, USA, etc would beg to differ Just saying in 'general' Nascar is more popular in the states. MotoGP is aweoms, i love watching the 250 Aprilla Races... saw one from Japan last year that was in a light drizel, spin outs all over the place. Also was watching some race on TV... its like a Tron Cycle with a sidecar/ledge, and there is a 2nd person on board that shifts his weight around the back on the turns... looked nuts, actually i saw one guy bounce his nuts off the pavement! :Q
